Why do all the critics blast the hospital? Why not blast the lawyers, the malpractice insurance companies, the medical insurance companies that don't reimburse near enough for obstetrical care? Why should the hospital have to keep the OB unit open and continue to lose money? Same thing with the VBAC issue. Why blame the hospitals and docs who no longer offer VBAC when it is the lawyers who make it dangerous to continue to offer it? Bad night on call Tuesday and still losing sleep over it. Saved a baby's life but high likelihood I will end up in court in the next two years. *sigh* -- Anna Meenan, MD At 3 Dec 2004, rmodugno@aol.com wrote: > >Greetings, > >rmodugno@aol.com wants you to know about a story at http://www.timesdispatch.com. > >Message: >Another one bites the dust!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
